Event Details:

Blogs. Podcasts. RSS. YouTube. MySpace. New forms of communication for
a new generation of employees. Pam McConathy, of Foresight
Communications Group, will lead a panel discussion on what social
media is all about and how businesses today are using it to
communicate to their audiences. As we get older, our audiences are
getting younger and it's important that entrepreneurs understand the
variety of communications options available to reach these new
audiences. Just as we had to learn to embrace computers in the 80s,
desktop publishing in the 90s, and the Worldwide Web in the new
millennium, it's time to learn the latest tools of our trade to stay
competitive and meet client needs.
